Senate The US Politics discussion

Who knows? He is concerned about his image more than anything; it doesn't *have* to be illegal or even all that shady for him to want to hide it.

 

I'm really sorry to hear about Senator McCain's cancer. It seems reasonable to believe that it may have had something to do with his bizarre public comments and questions toward James Comey when Comey testified.

 

Trump is going to attempt to fire Mueller at some point. I don't see how he can avoid it. Mueller is the type to run down everything, and to do it with great skill, and he's assembled a highly skilled team of people to do that with and for him. Trump is so deeply enmeshed with Russia on just about every conceivable level that he really could be considered an intelligence asset for them. That doesn't begin to deal with something comparatively pedestrian (but still serious) like obstruction of justice. If Mueller's team is allowed to finish, there's no way Trump avoids having damning evidence shown, along with a number of others in the administration.

The aftermath of that attempt (whether it's successful or people keep refusing to do it to the point where Trump has to back off) will go a long way toward determining what kind of country we have for the next many years and decades.

 

On the other hand, it could be that it was caught early, given McCain's history with cancer, I'd presume he's checked regularly and often for any signs of cancer.

 

What an idiot.

 

The President weighed in on Senator McCain's diagnosis. It definitely sums up how I feel:

John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.

Not wishing to defend Mr Trump, but hyperbole is not grounds to consider someone an asset.

He's an actual useful idiot, but he's not an asset. Remember, "asset" in intelligence terms is a prescribed, not vernacular, term.

 

This just keeps getting dirtier and dirtier.

Paul Manafort owed millions of dollars to pro-Russia interests before he became President Donald Trump’s campaign chairman last year, the New York Times reportedlate Wednesday.
According to the New York Times report, which cited financial records filed in Cyprus in 2016, Manafort — who kept bank accounts in the low tax jurisdiction — owed as much as $17 million to pro-Russia interests.

 

Yes they are - both schools are notorious recruitment traps for the Left. Those poor kids will be sucked in and their lives ruined by Progressive Leftist Propaganda. Neither child will be given the opportunity to make sandwiches for their husbands or experience the joy of being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. They will be told they are equal of men and should pursue careers and other wicked lies. For shame gay parents. For. Shame.

 

Laughed so hard I may have re-injured an abdominal muscle.

 

Trump needs to be handcuffed to his personal criminal defense lawyer so that he can't get out and do press interviews where we laments about missed opportunities to further obstruct more justice.

 

Good video, thanks for sharing. Here's a PragerU video I found insightful.

 

Reading an interview with Trump feels like participating in disaster tourism.

 

I love posts like this! The left's inability to recognize reality made Trump president! So please, stay in your safe places! It gives me great hope for 2018 and 2020!

 

Are you calling the co-founder of GREENPEACE a fraud and unworthy of five minutes and an open mind to hear his presentation?

 

J-Rod: You do realize I chose my words intentionally. By responding, you only gave them more power. This is literally how Donald Trump continues to bury himself-by reacting to every perceived slight against him.

It has nothing to do with not acknowledging reality. It has everything to do with the core belief that, by his actions and that of a foreign power, Trump has de-legitimized himself as President, effectively handing the title of Leader of the Free World to Angela Merkel, while recklessly pursuing policies that harm millions to personally enrich his business interests and that of his friends.

So, until he decides to actually act presidential instead of playing with trucks and utilizing mafia level negotiation styles to bully US Senators, I will continue to refer to Barack Obama as The President because he still acts like it despite being out of office for 6 months. Donald Trump acts worse than a toddler and is as far from presidential as one can be.
